Our mission
Nkasi exists so no patient in the U.S. has to navigate medical bills, charity care, or assistance programs alone. We're warm, plain-spoken, nonjudgmental — and free.
Tochukwu Godswill Oyi
Founder & CEO
Tochukwu started Nkasi after years of working in the healthcare field, where he watched patients struggle to access healthcare because of high costs and confusing bills. He built Nkasi to walk people through their medical bills in plain language and connect them with charity care, payment programs, and resources that can actually help pay what they owe.

About Nkasi
Nkasi is a free healthcare cost-navigation tool. Nkasi helps users estimate potential healthcare costs, understand medical bills, identify financial assistance programs, learn about patient rights, and organize their applications in one place.
Nkasi is not insurance, is not a healthcare provider, and does not provide medical, legal, financial, or tax advice. Use of Nkasi does not create a provider-patient, attorney-client, or insurer-insured relationship. All information is provided for general informational purposes only.
